This would be a very bad thing, but do you really think they will be that strict about it? I can't imagine them penalizing players for tweeting that they won or lost the match a few minutes after it has finished.

Just spamming around and trying to find more followers for the blog, with articles addressing imaginary issues in a populist way, like "why ATP doesn't feed a warm dinner the poor tennis babies :shedsatear:"

And Michael Jackson will soon assist by deleting any thread were a different that the general opinion is stated.

I believe on the ATP/Challenger circuit it's pretty open, after all, there are the press offices, you can submit articles and tweets as early as you want (despite tournaments also having official livescores and betting companies scoring and streaming). For some reason, at ITF tournaments it seems to be a problem though.

Only exceptions are tournaments where gambling companies are main sponsors, in Kitzbuehel (and Hamburg, I think) credited journalists are forced to sign under rules they will not tweet from the things that happen in the match (even if a squirrel shows up on court). To be honest, I don't like this rule at these 2 tournaments, but maybe I'm biased due to being a journalist myself, maybe other people think it's fair enough if the gambling company gives money for the tournament to happen and they have exclusive rights for this. I don't know.

On winning DC and its overall importance in the discussion for all-time greats

The fact is, success in DC is largely determined by what country you come from or play for in the first place, which most players haven't had any control over.

Can you tweet about what happens in the rally. Is that allowed? And does this mean that if you go to Wimbledon, you won't be allowed to tweet during a match? I find that strange to believe :/.

of course you can, even if you get caught tweeting a score during a match it's not like they take you to jail. tons of people will use phones at ipads on courts so it's impossibile to prevent people from using these devices. what itf and atp people look for is suspicious individuals who are clearly there only to gamble or transmit data and trust me they are not hard to spot.
